Wild oxen will fall together with them—
    young steers and mighty bulls.
Their land will be drenched[a] with blood,
    and their soil will be swollen with fat.

    a year of recompense for Zion’s cause.
Edom’s[b] streams will be turned into burning sulfur,
    and its dust into sulfur;
        its land will become pitch.
